We wanted to go to the flower parade and chose the Red Lion due to it's central position in the Market Place in Spalding. Not wrong, exactly in the centre. If you wish to visit Spalding try this place. It's a very good hotel with a proper pub bar. The place is quite old but full of character. The breakfast... More

Situated in the centre of Spalding, this Hotel offers excellent value for money. The rooms are clean, well equipped and comfortable. I especially liked the choice of feather or non feather pillows. The shower room was compact but perfectly functionable with plenty of fresh towels and toiletries. Breakfast is additional and well worth the cost. Cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, quality... More

If like us you like your hotels with a bit of character rather than sanitised plastic replicas of every other 21st century hotel in the UK then you will like this hotel. We booked two nights some weeks ago on a room only rate and were pleased with the cost. Were allocated a double room on the top floor room... More

We visited the Red Lion to while away an afternoon with some good beers but were disappointed that nothing local or different was stocked. After seeing the sign that this pub was in the UK Good Beer Guide 2013 our hopes were high but when presented with the standard Bombardier and Bass we were left underwhelmed. Not only this but...

Booked this at short notice, not expecting too much but my room was spotlessly clean, showers not the best but its certainly acceptable. Staff are very friendly (borderline OTT) but all good. If I rated this establishment on what I paid all boxes would be a 4 or 5. I'm rating it on the same standard that I have, and... More

Stayed in this hotel for only one night. However, the staff were very friendly and professional with a good attitude towards customer service. The room was clean, well equipped and of a good standard. Breakfast was okay, but they didn't do an evening meal which was disappointing due to my timetable. In the evening, I had to go and get...

My wife and I spent two nights at this hotel in September 2012 whilst we were visiting friends in the area. The hotel was refurbished to a high standard - about 40 years ago! In this regard it is identical to very many town centre hotels around the country - a bit dated but still fairly comfortable. Whilst it lacked... More

Just had an overnight stay at the Red Lion. It is in the centre of town and car parking is free during the week from the evening until 10am. A quaint old pub and the locals are really friendly. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food is excellent quality. Great value for money. Will certainly go again.
